I am very pleased with the outcome of my form that I submitted in October to my classmates. My project was a questionnaire that I created asking the importance of Physical Education in the school system. I am majoring in Physical Education so this was a very important topic to me. I had a few students admit to not being active and not caring about their personal health but for the majority of students, they cared about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

This form shows evidence that P.E is important in the school systems and that it should not be eliminated due to budget cuts in the school systems. I had 19 students fill out this form and as you can tell from the results that I posted above, most of them feel that it’s important to have P.E in the school systems as well as teaching students the importance of healthy living. I also liked the fact that the students admitted that eliminating snack machines in the school halls is not the answer to the high rate of obesity in the school system. It is the lack of physical activities that keep the students over weight.
